Dawn G. Novak was born one snowy January morning in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Even from a very early age, her artistic abilities became apparent. Before the age of seven, she had begun to draw and paint, and when she was eight years old she entered one of her drawings into the annual Calgary Stampede Art Festival. Those who knew her were not surprised when it earned her an honorable mention from the judges, no small feat for one so young. It was not long, however, before Dawn soon turned her growing talents toward the two other loves that would govern her life music and writing.
From the very beginning, Dawns teachers recognized and encouraged her writing skills. She won the Curtis Award in 1968, an honor given to the one student who, out of all the students in the province of Alberta, achieved the highest grade in literature. Still, Dawn soon found herself drawn more and more toward the world of music. At the age of thirteen, she taught herself to play the guitar and soon she and her two sisters were performing at local charity shows and church functions. It was at such an event that an agent approached Dawn and her sisters and asked if they would be interested in performing professionally. The trio agreed that it might be fun and soon Dawn, who at the age of fourteen was too young to play in bars, found herself singing in supper clubs and dining lounges throughout the Calgary area.
